you seen the SOO ticket pricing?

What's good or bad about it mate as I haven't looked?

yeah that eels / dogs PF was massive.

dogs / saints
dogs / eels
eels / saints
souths / saints

would all take the nrl to another level

how do they compare with AFLs origin pricing?

i think if you buy in the blatcheys blue area and get for both games its a 10% discount

our idiot from WA is equating this with free tickets

best tickets for origin 1 - $135 down to $50 for the worst category

thieves.

$50 for a seat behind the posts at homebush is daylight robbery

if they reduced ticket prices to a resonable level theyd sell out

It's actually a $21 saving, the point stands, everybody with any marketing sense who knows that a game isn't going to sell out trys and fills the ground with discounts or freebies. Nothing wrong with it and we do it in the NRL every weekend.

so reducing the price if you buy for both games is the same as freebies ?




weagles!

FFS, this isn;t a go at any poster here, but @#$%, sell your expensive tiks, good luck luck.

But please don;t out price the people who really care.

I don't have a lawn mover, I don't have a car, I cut mt grass today with a @#$%^%$ whipper Snipper and it was 4 feet long, I still have the back to do.

I;m not rich and anywhere from $30-150 is out of my league.

I haven't got a jumper for 6 years because its nearly $200, I buy shirts and caps and stuff, But I can't afford it on a pension.

Don't take my game away more than you have.

And to add, I'm in a wheelchair and my grass got so long people refused to cut it.

I had to go out there and use a machine that is not ment for it just to look decent.

I got charged 760 dollars last month for aqn electricity bill when this time last year it was 300.

I have no Pay TV because I can't afford it, I'd love to go to a game, but living is worth more.

Paying gate price to go to a game is ridculously expensive and is one motivator to become a member. I just paid $45 a ticket for the Perth game to sit on the 20m line. Taking along some mates so it has cost me a small fortune!

Having said that as a sweetner I agreed to get tickets to the ballet for the wife and they were $130 each so in comparison I can't complain!!

theyll have 20,000 empty seats for each sydney game.

drop the price and sell it out

in the old days when it was at the SFS the top ticket was $50 and the cheapest $25. taking out members they only had 25,000 seats available

moving to homebush with 70,000 seats available youd think theyd keep the prices the same?

nah, they doubled them.

if it sold out all the time people would be more keen to go with a good atmosphere.

and the view from most seats is s**t.

paying $100 bucks for a lousy view in the cold of winter when you can watch it on nine with all their expert analysis?

we dont make it easy to turn up to the game do we?

I'd be disappointed if they don't get close to 70K for each game, weather permitting. It is supposed to be the eipcentre of RL isn't it? How quick did Suncorp sell out?

heck id even make a special family ticket of say $40 ie $10 each for say 5000 - 10,000 tickets in alcohol free section.

get the kids coming along and getting hooked

suncorp tickets are usually $20 cheaper than sydney

and suncorp is a much better ground than homebush.

game 1 will get 68,000 - 72,000 and if game three is a decider 75,000 +

Suncorps prices are $45-122
ANZ $50-135

so they have lower capacity and better view and still sell their tickets for less?

tells you our tickets are way overpriced

I asked for trolls and you responded. And responded. And responded. And responded. etc.

What does that tell you...?





My main point was the one above that which you ignored. About the 50,000+.

Two posts. Which one was a bait?



If you were a fish you would be gutted, wrapped in foil and sitting on my bbq by now.

a thread that we all agree on at last.

Shocking prices. Great spectacle, but blimey.

You Sydneysiders still haven't learnt the lesson of 1988 it seems...

Every damn thing is over priced these days, it's criminal.

The Titans are the worst though, if they keep the prices up, no one will go and the AFL will give away thousands of tixs and when they do start charging, they'll be cheap as chips.

Anyone noticed how the crowds have dropped up there?

SOO has turned into a quick money grab.

its not the top tickets that dont sell out, they always sell out the $130 tickets

its the cheaper ones that have a terrible view.

the ARL just have to be realisitic about what these seats are worth
